1 Prof. Dr. Stefan Pfänder, Personal details: Prof. Dr. Stefan Pfänder (born in 1969) studied French, Spanish, Russian, and history in Freiburg, Aix-en-Provence/France, Santander/Spain and Novgorod/Russia. For the duration of his studies he held a scholarship of the Studienstiftung des Deutschen Volkes (German Merit Foundation) and was additionally awarded a DAAD scholarship for his studies in France and the French part of the Caribbean. Within the framework of the collaborative research project 321, whose speaker Wolfgang Raible (laureate of the Leibniz-Prize in 1992) was Pfänder s doctoral advisor, he worked on his doctoral thesis Aspekt und Tempus im Frankokreol (sowie im Französischen und Russischen) from On being awarded his doctoral degree ("summa cum laude"), he joined the university of Halle-Wittenberg as an Assistant Professor, during which time he acted as coordinator of an interdisciplinary research group on language contact, broadening his field experience through several research trips to Latin America (Argentine/Bolivia). In 2004 Pfänder completed his postdoctoral thesis (Habilitation) on Sprachkontakt und Sprachwandel Spanisch in Bolivien and was awarded the Saxony-Anhalt Christian-Wolff-Prize for excellent internationally cross-linked junior research projects. In 2004/05 he returned to Freiburg as interim professor. In 2005, he was appointed Chair of Romance Linguistics (Francophone countries and Iberoromania) which he continues to hold after having rejected the offer of a W3-professorship in Münster in Stefan Pfänder was invited to numerous guest professorships (in chronological order: Aix-en-Provence, Fort-de-France, Cayenne. Paris, Seville, La Plata, Montréal, New Orleans, La Plata, Madrid, Cairo, Dakar). Since 2008 Pfänder has been in charge of Freiburg University's Herman Paul Graduate School in linguistics. Since 2009 he has additionally been one of the two speakers of the DFG Research Training Group 1624/1 Frequenzeffekte in der Sprache - In 2010 he became one of the founding directors of the Basel-Freiburg International Graduate School of Linguistics. So far, Stefan Pfänder has published 15 books (3 of which are monographs) and 52 articles in German, English, French, Spanish, Italian, and Russian. Furthermore, within the framework of a 10-year linguistic project he established the book series Transkriptionen, published by the Berliner Wissenschaftsverlag, which is funded by the Paul Riebeck foundation and others. What the six books published so far have in common is that they include audio CDs with vibrant eye witness interviews documenting old handicraft trades (e.g. chimney sweepers, gondoliers), as well as old and new minorities in France and French minorities in Southern and Eastern Europe or Northern Africa (European polyphony, Brittany, Cairo). Since 2005 Pfänder has headed a total of 8 externally funded projects, of which the research network CIEL-F (DFG/ANR) is especially noteworthy. Within this project the main focus has lain on postgraduate education (8 completed dissertations, often in co-tutelle) which all focus on crosslinguistic phenomena, on the one hand, and language contact (e.g. contact of

2 Romance languages with languages like Arabic or Chinese), on the other. So far, four of the junior researchers that were supported by his department have been appointed to permanent postdoc positions, four others have been appointed to professorships. Research profile: Successful models of language change within the practice-based paradigm are based on the assumption that language change starts in situated conversations. However, this assumption has so far not been tested empirically. Pfänder s innovative research programme is, by means of the first time ever systematic combination of corpus linguistics and conversation analysis, to get to the root of the gradual emergence and formation of language during speaking and listening. The experience with linguistic input has different time depths. As initiator and head of a German-French research group (funded by DFG and ANR), which investigates the French language in 20 regions on four continents, Pfänder himself focuses on the moment of spontaneous conversation, whereas a complementary longue durée perspective is followed by the DFG Research Training Group 1624/1 on frequency effects in language, and by a PhD research training group on empirical linguistics in the framework of the Landesgraduiertenförderung Baden-Württemberg (Pfänder being the speaker of both). Moreover, Pfänder is also likely to be the first and currently the only German scholar in Romance languistics who investigates the emergence of new Romance varieties and creoles on a broad empirical base and in a systematic comparative perspective. In the past decade he has dealt with corpus material from the Americas (Canada, the Caribbean, the Andes, and Argentine), Africa (Cameroun, Senegal, Egypt) and the Pacific (Mauritius, India, Vietnam, Australia). Under the direction of Stefan Pfänder a synchronic sample of audio-visual data of spontaneous every-day conversations is being collected for the first time. The data collected, uniquely valuable in their own right, are enhanced by state-of-the-art annotation schemes and retrieval software specially developed for this purpose at his department in Freiburg. The current research programme, which as yet focusses on the study of Romance-speaking countries, regions and communities outside Europe, will be developed in two directions in the mid term. The findings obtained from varieties outside Europe will be used to develop new models to account for variation in the European home-bases of the Romance languages, and the socio-historical and structural trajectory of the Romance languages will be compared to other European languages with a history of colonial expansion. A newly started long-term project at FRIAS (Freiburg Institute for Advanced Studies), where Pfänder was appointed Internal Senior Fellow for 18 months in 2009/10), has already laid a foundation.
